David Moyes is hoping to bring the 34-year-old back to the Premier League as they look to fill the powerful striker-sized void in the squad left by Sebastian Haller’s recent move to Ajax.
However, Palmeri claimed that the prospect of a move to the London Stadium has been rejected for now before linking Wolves with the former Manchester City target man in a subsequent tweet.

Dzeko looks almost certain to leave Roma this month after a major fallout with head coach Paulo Fonesca. The grievance between the two stemmed from the club’s decision to dismiss team manager Gianluca Gomber, leading to the two-time Premier League winner being forced to train alone.

This could end up being a stroke of ingenious opportunism for the Hammers if they can land the Bosnian, who has an impressive 59 goals in 112 caps for his country.
Despite his advancing years, Dzeko still has plenty to offer at the top level, as proven by his seven goals in 15 Serie A appearances this season.
Albeit only a short-term fix for Moyes’ squad, the talismanic striker has the proven quality to help fire the Hammers to European football next season, something which would put the club in a superb footing in the summer transfer market.
